Engagement photography session

Christina hired me via facebook and so shooting her engagement session was my first opportunity meeting her in person.  I'm always nervous when this happens - simply because I know just how goofy I can be and all it would take is one of my ill-timed laughs to send a new client running for the hills. Somehow Matt and Christina were not phased by my guffawing which was very lucky for me! 

Christina and Matt are a fun-loving, sea-faring couple from Boston. We picked the wharfs of the New Bedford Whaling district to meet (Christina's idea) and our decision was blessed with gloriously warm weather. 

The side streets of the Whaling District are cobbled and added an old-world feel to the whole session. This was a super fun session - not even the blinding life-giving sun could dampen our moods.  We spent about 60 minutes walking up and down the streets, taking shelter in the shade of the buildings.

I can't wait to photograph their wedding in September.  It's going to be so much fun!
